Despite whatever feelings he felt inside, the doppelganger did not reveal it externally. Instead, he thought about the real-Lex's answer for a moment before answering.
"There's no fixed percentage, but generally speaking, I think everyone who usually takes the Body Tribulation is around 5% during their first tribulation. If we account for the increase you may face for delaying it, a safe percentage would be around 20%.
"But you need to understand, it's not as simple as surviving a difficult tribulation once. If you do this, then every subsequent tribulation you experience will kick off from the same level as the one you experienced last. In short, you'd be making your own future tribulations permanently more difficult, and reducing the amount of time you have to reach the peak."
